Chapter 121: Getting Prepared For The Short Journey

Claire warmly smiled at him, "If it can make you feel better, I am always ready to listen to your problems."

Davis nodded his head and felt incredibly good of having a supportive mother figure. It again reminded him of the importance of having people who support you without any ulterior motives.

"Hmm… It's almost time… If I don't leave now, I can't make it to Shirley's birthday celebration. Evelynn should be getting ready too…" Davis replied as he thought about his next endeavour.

She nodded, "Alright, take care. If you encounter that reincarnated Ellia, escape at all costs or call your master for aid. You don't need to be embarrassed!"

Davis chuckled and returned to his study while Claire left.

He changed his clothes and prepared a few things before he left the Royal Castle after bidding farewell to his family.

…

Standing in front of the Cauldon Manor, Davis looked up at the gates.

He wore black imperial robes which had golden dragons etched onto it. His wide sleeve cuffs were embroidered with golden threads.

He stood there as he waited for only a few seconds.

Crowds started forming around him as soon as they spotted his luxurious clothing, they looked at him like he was some sort of idol.

'Isn't this a little bit overkill?' He asked himself as he received the numerous admiring gazes.

He did wear a little over the top luxurious clothes. In fact, he knew that he will be the centre of attention, and that was his intention, but that was for when he headed to the Ashton Empire with Evelynn.

"Isn't that the first prince of our Empire? I once saw him years ago. Look how handsome he has grown up to be…" A woman on the side had her eyes glowing as she feasted on his appearance.

"Sadly, we can't even talk to him… If I could even have him notice me, my life will not be in vain." Another woman beside her who looked beautiful, spoke as she sighed.

"You two, don't even dream about that. You will be killed if some of the fanatics find about it!" A male voice echoed behind them.

The two of them both shut up as they knew about the fanatics of the first prince.

The male voice then continued, "Speaking of those fanatics, I wonder how they will feel about Young Mistress Evelynn Cauldon?"

"I don't know, maybe they will just die of jealousy…" Replied the beautiful women as she raised her brows.

The man then nodded and replied, "I also think the same. Did you hear about the rumour yesterday? I heard that the Cauldon family's Young Mistress was called to the Royal Castle, and returned a day later after the Royal Castle exploded."

"Some kind of fight must've happened! Could it be that the first prince had taken her virginity during her stay in the Royal Castle, leading her father to arrive and take her back angrily?"

"That could be the case now that I think about it!" The woman who first spoke uttered with envy.

The three of their imagination ran wild when suddenly a shout startled then to death.

"You! Stop spreading rumours!" Davis pointed at the women who looked beautiful.

That women froze and fainted as she thought, "He noticed me!"

The other two hurriedly picked her up and ran away.

Davis stopped pointing his hand and clasped hands behind his back.

'Holy sh*t! What kind of rumours are they even spreading about? I took her virginity? Ridiculous!' Although he thought that, his expression said otherwise.

His face was flushed with a healthy smile on his face which just dazzled the crowd even more.

"Move aside! Move aside!" Guards hurriedly ran in front of Davis as they kneeled.

The head guard bowed his head, "Please come inside our Cauldon Family's Manor, your highness!"

Davis complied and headed inside the gates. He knew it was their job to kneel and give respect so he didn't care about it anymore. Neither did he want to change their established ways. In fact, he just stopped caring about it all together.

As he walked inside, various people ranging from the young to the elders, bowed as he walked past them.

Nearing the main hall, he saw a bunch of elders who stood up at the sight of him. They hurriedly came in front of him and bowed.

An elder spoke out, "Greetings Crown Prince, please excuse us for not coming to welcome you in person. We were in a family meeting, so it took some time for us to come out to greet you."

Davis nodded and didn't say anything. He didn't care whether it was intentional or not, he only came here to receive Evelynn.

A few minutes passed as he casually exchanged formal words with them before a middle-aged man showed up.

Dressed in dark blue robes, he looked fair and handsome while his long green hair reached waist length.

Before that middle age man could come closer, Davis bowed slightly and clasped his hands, "Greetings, Father-in-law." He didn't feign ignorance but expressed his willingness to marry his daughter.

The middle-aged man was called Evan Cauldon, and he took care of the family matters in the Cauldon Family.

Evan Cauldon on hearing Davis's words, laughed heartily, "Hahaha, good! Good! My Cauldon Family is blessed!"

Just when Davis opened his mouth to speak, he was interrupted, "That silly lass is getting dressed up as we speak. Haha, she suddenly took extra effort when she heard that you were coming over to pick her up personally."

Davis smiled on hearing that and thought, 'Looks like she didn't take offence at my mother's words…" Heaving a sigh of relief, he felt relaxed.

Evan Cauldon suddenly hesitated for a moment before he spoke up, "Crown Prince Davis, as the father of the bride, I would like to personally talk with you, is that okay?"

Davis was taken aback, "Of course, if it's personal, then it can't be helped."

After that, they both headed to a room that was vacant.

"Sorry for the trouble…" After heading into the room, Evan Cauldon apologised.

"It wasn't, what is the matter, father-in-law?" Davis made him go straight to the point.

"This… All I ask is that you take good care of my daughter!" He bowed his head as he asked solemnly.
